ROY' HARRIS BALKS I In Georgia, Roy Haffis, a power i ful figure, stood almost alone I among the Democrats of his state ! ! in declaring he liked "neither the 1 candidate nor the platform, al though the candidate is much bet ter than the platform.” | Judge Sharp i (Continued From Page One) “They had been looking forward to to looking at a pretty woman all j the term and now they've got me.” | Judge Godwin was spending his j vacation working in his garden. EXPORTS CUT LONDON IP) The British government announced today it intends to cut tobacco imports from the United States. Canada i and Cuba approximately 50 per cent this year. Local Reaction (Continued From Page One) didn't like Kefauver or Harriman. either of them would have made a | good showing in the big northern states, and Stevenson will have trouble carrying his own State," de clared West. “No matter how he tries,” said West. “Stevenson won't be able to convince the people that he isn’t another Harry Truman. He and Truman are just alike and stand for the same thing. And the Amer ican people have had a belly full of Truman and his breed and all that they stand for. We re tired of mink coats, deep freezes, corrupt ion and traitors like Alger Hiss. West said Stevenson’s defense of Traitor Hiss makes him unacceD table and objectionable to the pub lic. “The American people aren't go ing to vote for a man wbo did his best to keen a traitor out of pris on.” said West, who also recalled that President Truman and Sec retary of State Dean Acheson had defended Hiss. Former Mayor Herbert Taylor longtime Democratic leader, pre dicted that Stevenson will surely ; win the presidential campaign in November. Taylor said he regarded Stevenson as decidedly the most outstanding man available for thp Democratic nomination. “GREAT AMERICAN” Superior Court Judge Howard G. j Godwin declared: “I don’t think the ! ticket could be beat. It’s a snlendid ticket. Frankly. I was a little des- : pendent when the Republicans nom inated Eisenhower and was about ready to concede, but now I’m con- j fident that we have a sure win ner. Adlai Stevenson is a great American and will make a great president. I haven’t heard such scholarly orato-y since the days of Woodrow Wilson. It thrilled me to hear his acceptance speech.” Mrs. John W. Thornton. Sr . was well pleased with Stevenson's nom ination. Mrs. Thornton said that she heard his first speech before the convention and knew right then that Stevenson was the man for the Democrats. PRAISES SPEECH City Judge H. Paul Strickland was also very well please with Stev enson’s nomination and believes he will have a successful campaign and be elected in the fall. Judge! Strickland praised Stevenson’s ac- j ceptance speech and observed that | it was one of the best speeches he i had ever heard. John Allen McLeod. Dunn Re publican leader, said he hr.l “no comment on these candidates” when interviewed by The Record. Vic Lee of Coats, former mayor of that town and another well known ReDublican leader. Doir.ted out that Stevenson is a good man. but said, “There is no question of General Eisenhower being elected tjiis fall.” He predicted Ike’s elgc-J flon by a landslide. ” ' Among other residents enthusias tic over Stevenson's chances for i victory were: M~s. H. C. Turling ton, Henry Sandlin and Max Mc- Leod. Mack M. Jerniaan. another pro minent Democratic leader, declar ed that the Democrats have a fine | candidate this time and that he'll j make a good showing. WHITTENTON CONFIDENT Dewey Whittenton, prominent Dunn business man, expressed con i' fidence that the Stevenson ticket will win. "In fact.” he sa'd. “a man | just paid me SI,OOO and I’d be will ing to bet that on Stevenson.” Incidentally, Mr. Whittenton was one of the few who predicted four ; years ago that Truman would win. Mr. Whittenton conceded that. “It’s going to be a hot campaign, but I believe the working man will ( swing it to the Democrats. People are going to do a lot of thinking before thev vote Republican." RUSSELL BOOSTER j Mr. Whittenton said he felt ; ashamed of the North Carolina del ! egaticn for not voting unanimous ly for Russell. “It would have help ed Russell four years from now.” he added. He praised Senator Bob Young of Dunn for sticking to Rus sell. Arthur Wilborn, local magistrate i and Democratic leader, declared J that with labor unions backing Ste venson unanimously, “I don’t see i how he can lose.” Harnett Coroner Grover Hender son asserted. “That's by ticket and I think we can win again.” He j had high praise for both Steven ' son and Sparkman, j City Attorney I.
